Foundation Moment with Jeff Balzer: The headlines blazed across Newsweek.com: “Polio returns to Venezuela 30 years after eradicated as crisis cripples health care system.” A shock wave rippled across the world. The worst fear had been realized: polio had returned and returned very quickly to a country that had been polio free for decades. To everyone’s relief the Global Polio Eradication Initiative confirmed a few days later that the cause of the Venezuelan toddler’s paralysis was not polio. Polio returning to countries that have been polio free for years is a very eminent danger. Polio is just a plane ride away. It is important to keep vaccinating children and improving water and sanitation until polio is gone forever.
